GitLab AMA Topic: Message Bus

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed the F33 release party this weekend! Getting back to the GitLab topic mail threads, this weeks topic from the GitLab AMA session on September 10th is on Message Bus. As always, here are some links to the resources I have been pulling content from as well: * Questions and Answers hackmd link https://hackmd.io/RW8HahOeR7OJPON1dwuo3w * Chat log from session https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-09-10/ama_session... * AMA Blog post https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/gitlab-ama-follow-up/#more-9346 * Here is this email in hackmd if you wish to view it there: https://hackmd.io/tfOqCXNEQtqsGNLAEfZ2zg?view ## Topic: Message Bus - Question: Fedora uses a message bus to integrate different parts of its infrastructure. How should we onboard GitLab into this message bus? - Answer: Currently we would need to have a service that proxies GitLab’s events to fedora-messaging something similar to github2fedmsg. There were some concerns raised about the order of events sent by GitLab’s webhooks, these will need to be looked after during a Proof of Concept stage. - Question: How would git push over http work with GitLab? (assuming gitlab does not have Fedora's password since they are stored in FAS) - Answer: GitLab has a good number of authentication options and integrations where the "best" solution usually depends on a team's specific needs and use case. As such, the best way to know and meet Fedora's needs and use cases is to have a conversation and discuss the options with GitLab. How does git push over HTTP work with FAS right now, and what git push (over HTTP) auth requirements/flow would you like to have for your projects in GitLab? These are the only two questions and answers I could gather relating to message bus from the AMA question sheet, however I know there was a lot of discussion regarding this topic during the AMA session itself, so if you would like to resume/kick off that conversation again, please feel free to use this email to discuss. A personal note and for full transparency: the weeks seem to be passing in the blink of an eye lately, I assume it's because I'm busy(?) but it might be just the weird 2020 vibe the world is on nowadays. I really don't know. Whatever the reason, there has been no further discussion with GitLab since early October-ish, but we will be returning to the conversation of how this migration could be technically possible soon, so sincerely thank you all again for engaging with us/me here as I found reading the discussion on permission and access much easier to follow and have been taking notes on your expectations to use that feedback in conversations with GitLab when we pick the discussion back up. I hope you all had a good weekend and will talk to you all next week when the topic of Namespace & Issue Tracking is sent!
